Speaker Help
Keep away from rear ported speakers in that size room. That’s why I suggested the Spendor A5r ( 2 1/2 way ) with sealed woofers! I’ve owned that speaker and found it to be an excellent performer! The A4s are rear ported but they really don’t need that much space. I heard them in a room similar to the OPs. They were only a couple feet from the walls and no bass boom or overhang whatsoever. They sound sort of like a ProAc/A5 love child. |
What about Golden Ear Triton 2+s? Based on what you say, this might be ideal. Anything with a folded ribbon tweeter is worth a demo, IMHO. The Triton Ones I heard were not at all bright, but still detailed. The powered woofers will give you a lot of adjustability, and there is no rear port to make placement tricky. They are a bit tall, but slim, so they don't have a huge footprint. $3500/pr, MSRP. |
@dpm2340 , The Vandy subs work with crossovers- M5-hp or fixed impedance, they allow the amp to run more efficiently as well as offer a seamless transition between the main speakers and subs. I own both a pair of 2w and 2wq's. I don't think you will find a better or less expensive way to get full frequency sound. Now that Vandersteen has introduced a new sub model, I would expect prices to fall. And, considering my 2w's are close to 20 years old and still functioning perfectly, I can attest to their build quality. But, don't take my word, just visit a Vandy dealer. B |
I think you would like the Chapman T-5. Right up your ally and mine. http://chapmanaudiosystems.com/models/T5.html |
